Hi all - yes we rely on the JNCC updating the UKSI from their SOCC list at regular (or irregular!) intervals :)

As far as I can recall there is no designation information stored in the UKSI. Whoever uses the designation data (supplied by the JNCC?) needs to manually account for the fact only species are designated in the legislation- there is some code built into Recorder 6 that does this and applies the designations to Chiroptera.

* edit: its the families that are designated in the legislation

It would seem to be an NBN problem - not the only one affecting bats that has come to my notice recently - as I have just done a quick report in R6 using the latest UKSI, and for All designations/Short names Chiroptera (records with the taxon at Order level) gives

BAP-2007, Bern-A2, Bern-A3, CMS_A2, CMS_EUROBATS-A1, England_NERC_S.41, FEP-007_tab2, HabDir-A2*, HabDir-A4, HabReg-Sch2, RedList_GB_post2001-CR, RedList_GB_post2001-DD, RedList_GB_post2001-EN, RedList_GB_post2001-NT, RedList_GB_post2001-VU, Scottish_Biodiversity_List, WACA-Sch5_sect9.4b, WACA-Sch5_sect9.5a, WACA-Sch5Sect9.4c

Chiroptera missing international/national statuses

I noticed that Chiroptera has no status on the NBN Atlas Scotland other than the sensitive species flag, which I don't think is correct as all bats are EPS. I am assuming this is a UKSI dictionary issue, but as we've not installed the latest update in-house yet I cannot be certain of that!

Kind regards,
